Why a watch winder is a must-have

Do you have an automatic watch? Then you know how annoying it is when your watch stops working because you haven’t worn it for a few days. You have to reset it, correct the time and sometimes even reset the date. This is exactly why a watch winder is an indispensable accessory for watch lovers.

In this blog we explain what a watch winder is, how it works and why you should definitely have one.

What is a watch winder?

A watch winder is a device that keeps your automatic watch moving when you are not wearing it. Automatic watches work on the basis of a mechanical movement that generates energy through the movement of your wrist. If you do not wear the watch for a while? Then it stops running.

A watch winder simulates the natural movement of your wrist by slowly rotating the watch. This keeps the watch wound and ready to use, without having to reset it every time.

Why a watch winder is a must-have

1. No hassle with resetting

If you have a watch with a complication such as a date display, moon phase or GMT function, it can be a time-consuming job to reset everything. With a watch winder you can prevent this and your watch will always be set correctly.

2. Extends the life of your watch

Keeping your watch moving regularly keeps the oil in the movement well distributed. This helps to reduce wear and prevents the lubricants from drying out, which can damage the internal mechanisms.

3. Ideal for collectors

Do you have multiple automatic watches? Then you probably don't wear the same watch every day. With a watch winder, all your watches will always be ready for use, without having to wind them manually every time.

4. Perfect for luxury watches

For more expensive watches with complicated complications, such as a perpetual calendar or a tourbillon, it is extra important that they do not stop. A watch winder ensures that they always remain in optimal condition.

5. Easy and stylish

A watch winder is not only practical, but also a luxury accessory that fits perfectly with a beautiful watch collection. The Watch Mates watch winder is made of wood and has an elegant look. Thanks to the silent electric motor and the USB connection, you can use it anywhere, even with a power bank.

Conclusion
